South Korea - On Saturday, December 23, 2023, a group of dedicated Brothers from the Lambda Xi Chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., located in the Republic of South Korea, made a special visit to Ae Hyang Children Welfare Center in Pyeongtaek. Their mission: to spread joy and happiness, and support to the children during the wonderful holiday season.

This heartwarming endeavor in conjunction with Morning Calm Ministries and the Non-Commissioned Officers Association saw approximately 50 children benefit from the generosity of all members. Participants pooled their resources and purchased an array of toys for boys and girls, all of which were donated to the orphanage.

Brother Brandon Spencer, event organizer for Lambda Xi Chapter, described the experience as humbling to give back to the community. The boys and girls at the orphanage, as well as the dedicated staff, expressed their heartfelt appreciation for the Lambda Xi Chapter's support and efforts. It was a touching moment that underscored the importance of community outreach and lending a helping hand to those in need.
